Migrating MIB information from one SysOrb installation to another
It can be desirable to export the MIB information from one SysOrb server and import it on another SysOrb server. This is possible using the XML import and export utilities that ship with the SysOrb Server.
To export all MIB information from SERVER1, run the command
sysorb-exporter -s SERVER1 -d . -l USERNAME -f mib.xml -I MibModule,MibModuleObject,MibModuleType,MibTypeEnum,MibObject -c
You must replace USERNAME in the above with the user name of an administrative user on the SERVER1 SysOrb Server.
To import this MIB information to SERVER2, run the command
sysorb-importer -s SERVER2 -l USERNAME -f mib.xml -m
Again, you must replace USERNAME in the above with a user name of an administrative user on the SERVER2 SysOrb server.
The import will not erase existing MIB information, but it will overwrite whatever conflicting information may already be on SERVER2.
Once the import is complete, all MIB information from SERVER1 should now be available on SERVER2. You will need to re-scan SNMP devices on SERVER2 in order to actually benefit from the extended MIB information.
